WHEN I WAS A GIRL BORN IN SAINT-JEAN-DE-LUZ

I'D PLAY ON THE BEACH, GAZING OUT AT THE BLUE

THE OTHER KIDS FOUND ME QUITE STRANGE

THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND

WHEN I SAW ALL THOSE FISHERMEN COMING BACK HOME THEIR NETS FULL OF TREASURES, THE OCEAN HAD GROWN

I FELT SOMETHING PULLING ME, CALLING ME

FAR FROM THE LAND

ON SUNDAY MY GRAND-MÈRE WOULD TAKE ME TO TOWN

WE'D GO TO THE MARKET AND I WAS ALLOWED

TO PICK OUT A POISSON, SHE'D SAY "SEE WHICH ONE CALLS

TO YOU, MA CHÈRE"

"WE'LL MAKE MEUNIÉRE…"

LES POISSONS

LES POISSONS

WHAT A JOY, WHAT A FEELING,

WHEN IT MELTS ON MY TONGUE,

THAT SWEET TANG LEAVES ME REELING

LES POISSONS

LES POISSONS

OH MY HEART HITS THE CEILING

HOW I LONG

ALL DAY LONG

POUR POISSONS

SO I MOVED TO THE CITY, JUST A GIRL AND HER DREAM

AND EIGHTEEN YEARS WORTH OF GRAND-MÈRE'S RECIPES

GOT A JOB WASHING POTS IN A BISTRO

RIGHT NEXT TO THE SEINE

I WORKED LONG AND HARD, DID MY SHIFT, PAID MY DUES

AND IN TIME A PROMOTION, 'CHEF RÔTISSEUR TATOU'!

AND I FELL FOR A BOY, WHO I THOUGHT SHARED MY PASSION

BUT THEN...

WHAT A SHOCK, WHAT AN OUTRAGE WHEN UNDER HIS HAT

WE DISCOVERED THE TRUE CHEF WAS ACTUALLY A RAT!

PUPPETEERING HIM, HOLDING HIS HAIR

I DECIDED RIGHT THEN

SHE DECIDED RIGHT THEN

YOU CAN NEVER TRUST MEN

YOU CAN NEVER TRUST MEN

BEHIND EACH A VERMÈN-

BEHIND EACH A VERMÈN

BUT SOMETHING I ALWAYS CAN TRUST AND ALWAYS PULLS ME

HOME…

ALWAYS PULLS HER HOME

LES POISSONS LES POISSONS

WHEN YOU'RE LOW AND YOU'RE LONELY

ALL I CRAVE, ALL MY THOUGHTS

ARE OF SOFT, SALTY, BONEY

LES POISSONS LES POISSONS

FRUITS DE MER, MINESTRONE - MAKES ME MOIST

IN MY MOUTH

LES POISSONS

AND SOMEHOW I KNOW THAT ONE DAY I WILL FIND

A FISH SO DELICIOUS IT WILL BLOW MY MIND

LE POISSON PARFAIT

SHE 'AS DONE IT, THEY'LL SAY,

MY PIECE D’RESISTANCE CUISINER

LES POISSONS LES POISSONS

NOTHING BETTER OR FINER

TURNS ME ON

WHEN I TASTE

LIKE A LADY’S-

Alors- what is this?

Yoohoo!

CAN CAN CAN YOU DO THE CAN CAN?

CAN YOU DO LIKE PRAWN CAN?

CAN YOU DO A CAN CAN LIKE A PRAWN CAN CAN?

CAN YOU CAN CAN?

CAN YOU DO A CAN CAN?

CAN YOU DO LIKE PRAWN CAN?

CAN YOU DO A WEE! WEE!

LES POISSONS! LES POISSONS!

THERE IS NOTHING QUITE LIKE IT!

ALL WE WANT ALL WE NEED ALL WE ARE ALL WE'VE DREAMED

IS LES LES LES LES LES- LES POISSONS!!!

Bon Appetit!
